Under 8: Our players took
part in a hurling blitz in Monaleen GAA Club last Friday evening. Our 2 teams
played 4 great games and represented themselves and their club really well, in
what was a hot summer's evening. Thanks to all who attended the games. Special
thanks to Monaleen GAA and their U8 coaches and management for organising the
blitz and for the use of their great facilities.

Under 14: We played
Moneygall /Clonakenny in the North u 14 B final in Portroe last Wed night on a
perfect pitch. Newport started slowly as we were behind to 5 points to one. Gavin
Mellerick scored the Newport point. We broke up the field and Brian Tobin
scored a goal after a one-two with Dan Ryan. After the kickout Diarmuid O
Riordan scored a goal to put us to 2.1 to 5 points ahead at half time.In the second half Diarmuid added a second
goal to put us 5 points ahead but Moneygall /Clonakenny responded with a goal
and 4 points to put them ahead but Newport would not give in. Great defending
by James Tobin, Aaron Coleman and Shaun Bonfield led to a pass by Shaun to Lee
Ryan who ran from the 45 to score a great solo goal to give Newport a two-point
lead. Moneygall/Clonakenny replied with a point to reduce the deficit but
Newport held on to win 4.2 to 1.10. Squad: Mark Forde, Aaron Coleman. John Lee,
Conor McHugo, James Tobin. Shaun Bonfield, Paul Moloney Stephen McCormack Aidan
